Floresville council adopts $24.26 million budget and raises property tax revenue for 2025–26
Summary
The City of Floresville adopted its fiscal year 2025–26 budget totaling $24,259,642 and approved a tax rate that raises $248,560 more in property tax revenue than the prior year; council also asked staff to return with an amended organizational chart.
The Floresville City Council on an adopted ordinance approved a $24,259,642 budget for fiscal year 2025–26 and adopted a tax rate the city said will raise $248,560 more in property tax revenue than the previous year.
City staff presented the proposed budget and tax analysis during a public hearing. Finance staff explained the proposed property tax rate of 0.420729 per $100 valuation, the city’s “no new revenue” rate of 0.393886 and the voter-approval rate of 0.350414. Staff said the proposed budget’s general fund is $6,928,311 and the total budget across funds is $24,259,642. The city reported that the total tax levy would grow from $2,557,879 to $2,806,439, a 9.72% increase, and that a homeowner of the city median home value would pay an estimated $60.39 more compared with the no-new-revenue rate.
Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025-011 approving and adopting the FY 2025–26 budget and separately adopted Ordinance 2025-012 levying the tax rate. The council later ratified the budget by separate resolution as required by state law.
During the budget discussion, council members and legal staff also discussed an organizational-chart issue. Legal counsel advised that positions funded in the budget should be reflected in the city’s organizational chart and with job descriptions to reduce liability and clarify reporting lines. Council did not adopt the new organizational chart presented at the workshop; members directed staff (finance, HR and legal) to return with an amendment for council consideration at the next meeting.
The council recorded the budget and tax-rate votes as passed; the transcript records outcomes as unanimous votes with no recorded dissent.
What happens next: staff said it will submit required paperwork and return with the organizational-chart amendment for council consideration before the next budget cycle. No implementation dates for the organizational-chart change were finalized in the meeting.
